A painting capturing Bono as he received an honorary knighthood has fetched 2,500 euro at auction.

The work by Irish artist David Nolan went under the hammer at a contemporary art sale at James Adam auctioneers in Dublin. The lot had a guide price of 2,500-3,500 euro.

The image was based on a picture taken by Press Association photographer Julien Behal which captured the U2 frontman as he was awarded the knighthood earlier this year by the British Ambassador David Reddaway.
